Making My Favorite Detox Salad is a breeze! Follow these simple steps to create a bowl of health and flavor:

1. Prepare the Greens: Rinse and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.
2. Chop the Vegetables: Dice the cucumber, chop the bell peppers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and shred the red cabbage. Add these to the bowl with the greens.
3. Grate Carrots: Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the carrots and mix them into the salad.
4. Add Avocado: Dice the avocado and gently fold it into the salad to prevent it from mashing.
5. Cook Quinoa (optional): If using quinoa, cook it according to package instructions and allow to cool before adding it to the salad.
6. Slice Red Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and sprinkle over the top.
7. Add Seeds: Toss in the sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for an added crunch.
8. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.
9. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
10. Garnish: Finally, top with freshly chopped herbs for an extra burst of flavor.

By following these steps, you’ll have an incredible salad ready to serve in no time.
